Folktronica w/ OP-1 field, Prophet-10, microKORG S | Falling Feather 2025-03-24

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the OP‑1 field, Prophet‑10, microKORG S, and Music Easel. A looped classical guitar pattern blends with synth melodies and abstract textures.

On the OP‑1 field, I record and loop harmony and melody parts played on classical guitar.

On the microKORG S, I perform with a slow‑attack patch while manipulating the filter, routing the output through SPECULAR TEMPUS for delay.

On the Prophet‑10, I play two different melodies with a subtle layer of reverb from blueSky.

On the Music Easel, I generate fine‑grained sounds as random percussion without syncing to a specific BPM—aiming for a sound that sits between effect and percussion.

Thank you for watching! If you enjoyed this piece, please subscribe and give it a thumbs up. Be sure to explore more works in the Daily Sound Experiment playlist."

HWJ Weekend Challenge - DOOM-inspired (WIP)

video upload by SynthAddict

"Loosely inspired by the legendary game's soundtrack.
I had a few ideas I didn't have time to implement so it's a WIP.

cool idea, but Quake would have provided better sonic inspiration since NIN did tracks for that one :-)"

"The MIDI/80 Tracker program got much more feature-complete in recent weeks! By now, it not only allows sequencing of drum patterns, but of arbitrary monophonic MIDI instrument tracks (e.g., for bass, melodies, arpeggios etc.) With 6 tracks, it is polyphonic and multi-timbral, and can now support creation of entire songs. Whereas the first Tracker only offered one pattern, the new Tracker 1.95 can now manage up to 26 individual patterns, named 'A' to 'Z'. The workflow allows for pattern copying, i.e., to enable a musician to quickly make variations to a pattern simply by copying it and modifying bit and pieces. Moreover, each pattern has it's own settings, like tempo, number of bars, and on a per-track-basis, MIDI channel, MIDI instrument, and MIDI velocity. Like in a traditional arpeggiator, a GATE DURATION parameter determines the duration of the notes. Gate Duration can be configured on a per-track-per-pattern-basis as well. Most importantly, the new Tracker now features a "Song Mode" which allows for pattern chaining! A song can have up to 64 (pattern) entries - it is simply denoted as a string of pattern designators (like "ABBACAB*", where "*" means loop the song, and "." ends it). Moreover, real-time tracking is not only supported via the TRS-80 keyboard, but also over a MIDI keyboard connected to the MIDI DIN IN socket of the MIDI/80 card. MIDI notes can be quantized in realtime. MIDI/80 project member "DOWNPOLY" is now using this enhanced Tracker and the new Song Mode of the program to create much more complex backing tracks for his stunning Orchestra Sound Card Live Performances. The Orchestra Organ program by George Phillips is used as the solo / lead instrument, and MIDI/80 + Tracker is doing the background tracks.

As usual, the updated software can be found on the Github and can be downloaded free of charge: https://github.com/lambdamikel/MIDI-80"

Kawai SX-240 soundscape V - Gone away

video upload by MIDERA

"Tonight, my daughter called for me after I put her to bed. It's unusual that she calls for me now as she's gotten older. I used to find it so irritating to get these calls, sometimes 3-4 times a night ("Papaaaaaaaaaa... uhm, I love you"). Now it seems to happen once every few months and is usually something more serious (at least to her), so I run up. She's sitting up in bed telling me about how she was terrified I had "gone away." I think she was just afraid I was going to die (of course, we all are going to some day), but it was hard to get that out of her. Usually the harder days are the days she has the most fun, I guess (maybe creating a lot of memories?). I know we're slowly descending into fewer and fewer days to be together, fewer chances to snuggle before bed, to tell 'Kwazii stories.'

I did tell her that some day I will die - and that I hope that day comes long before her time comes. That I won't be feeling anything when I'm gone, and that I would be happier if it were me and not her. That, of course, didn't really make her feel much better. Me staring at her boogery nose and making a face did. She started giggling, and I knew I had cracked the sadness, which faded, and we could say our good nights.

If you remember me saying the other day I had a financial problem - well, it was that I plugged the Kawai SX-240 back in to play it and it was dead. Nothing would happen. I was miserable, because I was planning to sell it and of course it would die before I could! Well, I managed to fix it. If you ever look up the service manual for this thing, it's horrible. I didn't realize how bad it was until I messaged Bob Grieb about his Tauntek eprom update (thinking maybe a bad eprom was the problem). He said it wasn't likely the problem, but sent me his version of the service manual and you can actually see the traces on it (the online version is so bad it didn't even pick up half the traces!). From there, I could see there was a bad solder joint between Pin 3 of the EPROM (I was right, something was wrong with the EPROM!) and Pin 2 of an adjacent IC. And - well, I brought it back to life. Another successful repair.

Talking Bass | “Dream Weaver” by Gary Wright

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"Let's break down the iconic synthesizer bass sound from Gary Wright’s iconic song "Dream Weaver". I’ll show you exactly how to recreate that unique, "talking" bass tone that happens in one of the most memorable chorus sections in synth history. I’ll also dive into how to adjust the sustain portion of the bass sound, for the variation that happens in the bridge—it's subtle but makes a huge difference in the overall vibe.

I had the pleasure of working with Gary one unforgettable summer—collaborating on a song for a movie and a couple of tracks for one of his albums. He was not only a gifted singer and songwriter but also an incredibly innovative electronic musician. Gary had a special kind of energy that made every session inspiring. I’m honored to share a bit of that magic form this wonderful person with you today.

Let’s dive in and give this classic bass sound the spotlight it deserves."
